Energy industry in Turkmenistan
The ranking positions of Turkmenistan relative to other countries have been determined for an extensive list of economic, energy, innovative and educational indices, as
Turkmenistan is included in the Global Energy Architecture Performance Index report, but its performance is very low compared to other countries (0.08). Natural gas plays a dominant role in Turkmenistan's energy system.
With more than 300 sunny days per year and an average solar GHI of 4.6 to 5.1, Turkmenistan also has enormous potential for harnessing solar energy. Table 2. Renewable energy resources of Turkmenistan As for other types of renewable energy, such as bioenergy, hydropower, and geothermal energy, there is relatively low potential in Turkmenistan.
The country has a number of small-scale photovoltaic power plants, but they do not contribute to the overall balance of electricity production. The amount of hydroelectric power that is generated in Turkmenistan is also insignificant.
Electricity Generation in Turkmenistan Over the past ten years, the total production of electricity in Turkmenistan has increased almost twofold. In 2023, virtually 100% of electricity was generated by fossil fuel-fired power plants, fueled almost entirely by natural gas.
